WOKE – Watch Party

Watch Party followed by live Q&A with the show’s writer and performer, Apphia Campbell.

Watch LIVR's specially filmed, 360° version of WOKE - a new story about the 20th-century African-American experience.

Against a powerful soundtrack of original music and traditional gospel and blues sung live, two women 42 years apart become involved in the struggle for civil rights. One, notorious Black Panther Assata Shakur; the other, a present-day university student enrolling as the Ferguson riots begin.

Both challenge the American justice system, become criminalized through political activism, and ultimately are faced with the same choice: stay and fight, or flee?

Apphia Campbell is the creator of the hit show Black is the Color of My Voice, which toured to sold-out audiences in Shanghai, New York, the UK and at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

WOKE won the coveted Scotsman Fringe First Award for its premiere season, and was highly commended by the judges of the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award.
